Car Loudspeakers > Alpine Car Loudspeakers

Car speakers not worth buying...

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Everything.

...my Fiat, I found the Alpine series. Although not widely marketed, I found a series of three of them and tested them out before I decided to buy them. I would love to say that they performed excellently and created a unique musical environment in my vehicle...but they didn't. I found the speakers quite poor in reception, they seemed to hum and reverb whenever I sped up. I thought initially that this was due to loose connections, but after I searched ...

Review of Alpine SWE-1000

Pounding bass for your pound

Advantages: Great Bass, Very Compact, only £100
Disadvantages: None that I have found so far

Alpine have always held a high position of regard for in car entertainment since I first installed a complete 1250w sound system back in 1990. I own a Peugeot 206cc and have installed an Alpine DVD head unit and although more than impressed with the standard speakers (which I hope to upgrade at some stage with a set of JBL's) when the roof is down it hard for any standard set of speakers to provide the bass required. There is also a severe limitation ...
...more practical solution. Enter the Alpine SWD 1600's, although only 6.5" this 150w active sub on paper at least met my requirements. Alpine market the Subwoofer as a Fill in for the main cabin of a car in a big installation (where the subs are usually located in the boot) or to provide bass in a small installation) The Sub fits easily under the seat (in my case the passenger seat) ad provides a more than adequate bass ranging from 60hz to 160hz ...

Review of Alpine SWD 1600

Crystal sound upgrade from factory car speakers

Advantages: Loud, Clear, and good value
Disadvantages: Small best used along side larger bass speakers

...gems at Halfords. The Alpine SXE 1325 S 13cm door speakers deliver a very clear high and mid-range sound and have a surprizingly punchy bass considering there size. I managed to fit them in Halfords carpark in half an hour with all the nessasery screws and bits provided. I then drove home in aural pleasure. I am planning to fit some 6x9 speakers in my parcel shelf to provide the bass sound to a better level. Hopefully i can afford some Alpine ones. ...

Review of Alpine SXE 1325 S

Great sound

Advantages: Great clear sound, good bass
Disadvantages: The price

This review is for Alpine SPR-694A, which is a newer produkt, and not possible to review yet. I went out one saturday morning looking for some new speakers for my car. I started looking in the lower end of the price rage, and many different speakers were demonstrated to me, but even as the prices went up I still wasn't tempted to buy. Then I tried out the Alpine SPR-694A and then I knew I had found what I was looking for. The price of 200$ was more ...
...worth it. I went home and installed the speakers and 30 minutes later I was ready for a test drive. The sound was just great, and even when I turned up the volume all the tones were very clear and the base was great. I drowe around for a long time that day, just listening to the music. The speakers are for rear shelf mounting only. The size is 6" x 9" Mounting depth: 82mm / 3-1/4" Below you will find some features from the manufacturer: • ...

Review of Alpine SPR 692A

Great Quality Speakers

Advantages: Very clear highs and full midrange response
Disadvantages: Weak base

...and purchase these high end alpine speakers. After reading all of the information i could find i decided that these would suit my needs well, im used to high quality Bose systems at home so thought these could produce similar results in my car. When i got them out of the box my first impressions were of how well they appeared to be made, the cast aluminium frame and the multi-role surround on the cone gave an immediate impression of the quality. ...
...them in my car was simple, remove the old speakers and fit the woofers, then find a suitable place for the crossover and route the cabling for the tweeters to the dash board where i chose to place them. Two more cables running to an amplifier (Alpine MRV-F345) in the boot and it was sorted. A card was included to help you set up the crossover to achieve the optimum sound from the speakers. This gave simple instructions on measurements to take, and ...
